Dell WM524 Wireless Bluetooth Travel Mouse

Love this mouse. Paired seamlessly with my XPS 13 with Win 8.1, and maintains connection perfectly. It took me a while to find out how to operate the side button, but now that I know, it works great. I am not much of the touchpad person, and though touchscreen is good to have, for me there is no replacement for the good mouse. This one is small enough to be my travel mouse for now, and it operates on batteries, which is another plus for my. I really do not like rechargable ones, that's why I went with this one instead of WM713, which seems to be thinner. Might still consider WM713, since I use my laptop pretty much for travel only. That leaves both of my USB ports free.About the size of the mouse - Amazon states that the dimensions are 5.9 x 8.2 x 3.5 Inches - which I assume is the package size? And who needs the package size for the travel mouse?Anyway, real dimensions of this mouse - 3.75 x 2.1 x 1.25 inches. It works on 2 AA batteries, which I assume will last for a while (I am using it for a month only, and cannot comment on longevity at this time). Cover is attached by magnets only, but they secure it pretty well - I never had a problem with it so far, and one needs to apply some effort to take it off. It is so far my best BT mouse (comparing to 2 razer mice and GearHead mouse). However, as I said, this is a dell mouse and I'm using it with dell laptop, so may be they are compatible.

I need to reinstall the mouse every time I turn on the computer. Why isn't it remembered on my Dell Computer? My old Dell mouse did not have this problem.After a month long trip away from home I wanted to return this mouse and Amazon said it was 4 days too late and I could not return it. I think that sucks as I was not even aware of the 30 day limit and I wasn't even home to handle it if I knew about it.Beware of buying from Amazon.

This mouse is all right, and I could be swayed into giving it 4 stars. However a couple of things hit me immediately.First off, this is a travel mouse. As other people have noted it is bigger than other travel mice, but still smaller than a regular mouse by at least 20%. It's a very lightweight plasticky feel, although the look and clickiness of everything seems to be fine, it just _feels_ cheap.This is also a bluetooth mouse - and now I know why all other mice come with an RF receiver - the response rate seems to be pretty low, probably 30 or 60 Hz - meaning the mouse feedback takes up to 1/30 of a second. This may not seem like a lot, but your mouse will more noticeably jump from point to point rather than glide smoothly over many points as compared to other wireless mice.I was hoping to get a second one, but at this point I won't, I will just be using it as a spare and for the occasional travel.

I have bought this mouse three weeks ago. It was a replacement for my wired mouse, to get rid of wires...Mouse advertized as "very precized and accurate, low enegry consuming..."After a week mouse pointer started to freeze, when I was enabling my WiFi module to browse internet. With WiFi "on" it did not work at all! First few seconds - pointer responding with a lo-o-o-ng delays (like a second each), and then mouse stopped responding at all. Reinstalling bluetooth drivers, restarting mouse did not solve a problem. Another brands work fine, but I wanted to have a "genue" Dell mouse. When WiFi is "off", mouse works fine. It is NOT that accurate and precize as wired laser mouse (consider it, if you are Photoshop, Premier ect. users!!!), but for general purposes (internet, PC browsing) it is fine.Design is nice, nothing to say. It is low-profiled with solid build body. Easy to connect and set up. I am using it with Windows 8.1, all latest updates, all soft has license.One more thing: mouse does not have any rubberized adges, like Targus mouse. And if you have dry hands, or it is cold enviroment, the grip is not comfortable. Mouse is trying to "jump away" from the palm.I wish to use it for years, but it did not meet my expectations :(.

I got this to compliment my XPS 13. The trackpad on that isn't very big and I have fairly large hands so this was a quick purchase.It feels well built, but also light. It's made of plastic, so while it doesn't feel particularly amazing, it won't add any real bulk to your backpack. It also doesn't have any flashy colors or LEDs. There is a surprising lack of mice without weird designs and bold colors.I bought this specifically due to the reported battery life, which is stellar. I've had it for about a year now, and haven't had to replace the battery yet. the included adapter is very small, but I kind of wish it had Bluetooth connectivity. I was more concerned with battery life at the time, though. The little adapter is conveniently held inside the mouse when not in use, hidden by a magnetic top cover. It's very clever.My only real gripe with this mouse is how loud it is. When moved around it kind of rattles, due to both the scroll wheel and the magnetic top. The mouse buttons feel good but also have a hollow clack to them. They're not deal breakers, I still would recommend this mouse, but it makes me think twice before pulling it out during quiet moments in the library.

I actually like the shape and feel of the predecessor a lot more, but this one works quite well as advertised. The previous model is more round and feels more ergonomic. This one works well enough, though not as comfortable. I will likely keep it and give it away if I can find one of the model which this one replaces.
